Baroque Swirl Snowflake

Good Morning

I love trying to combine stencil designs to create new looks 

Today's card uses 2 new stencil designs from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Baroque Swirl Snowflake and Marvelous Mask Arches

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock and placed one of the Marvelous Mask Arches stencil over the middle of the bottom edge of my cardstock and inked with some Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.
• I flipped the stencil over and inked along the top, right above the bottom arch.
• I cleaned the stencil off, repositioned it over to one side along the bottom and inked with some Broken China DOX ink.  I repeated that process on the other side and then along the top edge, filling in the background.
• Next, I placed the Baroque Swirl Snowflake stencil over the background and inked with some Prize Ribbon DOX ink.
• I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry while I die cut the sentiment with some navy cardstock.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then purple and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the bottom edge of my card front.

Here are the stencils I used:

Welcome

Today, I am playing with a new stencil called Chunks from A Colorful Life Designs.

A very interesting stencil that I had such fun playing with.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by placing a piece of white cardstock onto my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat, then positioned the Chunks stencil over that and inked it up with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
• I rotated the stencil one turn, then inked again with some Peacock Feather DOX ink.
• I rotated the stencil 2 more times inking with some Faded Jeans and then finally some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and revealed the background....so fun. (sorry, I should have taken a picture of it)
• Next, I placed the panel into my Misti and rubbed it with an anti-static bag.  
• I stamped the Snowflake Outline with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set it aside to dry.
• I die cut the 'Merry Christmas' from a piece of white cardstock, then from a piece of navy and glued them together.
• I glued the finished panel to an A2 size card front, then glued the sentiment into the center.
• I finished it off by adding 3 silver gems.

Good Morning

Here is a simple monochromatic card I made while playing with some of my favourite colours of Distress Oxide inks and my new blending brushes from Taylored Expressions I got for Christmas.  

I wanted to make a layered stenciled card so here is what I did to create my card.

• I began with a panel cut from heavy cardstock.  I centered the 2 Column Shadow Mask from ACLD over my cardstock and inked it up with some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks.  
• I left the above stencil in place and then positioned the Icy Snowflake stencil over that up in the top corner.  I rubbed some Chipped Sapphire DOX inks over the snowflake. It reminded me of looking out a window.
• Next, I removed just the snowflake stencil and splattered over the piece with my white Posca pen.
• I removed the Column stencil and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment from Impression Obsession.  I clear heat embossed it to help make it pop against the bkg.
• I mounted the piece onto a piece of matching blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Good Morning and Welcome.

Meet today's card.

Playing with some new releases from Penny Black.  I really like this Snowflake Tag die as it cuts the outer edge and the inside so you are able to use each on it's own or switch it up like I did.

You could really make some wonderful Christmas tags but I decided to use it as an element on my card instead of a tag today.

So here's what I did to create my card.

For the background I wanted a frosty look, so using  a piece of Yupo, I dropped Alcohol inks over the paper and added Rubbing Alcohol and Blending Solution to help the colour move and blend on the paper until I was happy with the look.

As that dried, I die-cut the inside of the snowflake from a leftover piece of cardstock that I had inked up with Brushos.  I like to keep my leftovers as they come in handy for die cutting.

I die-cut the outside edge on the white then fit them back together again, gluing them onto a small piece of white cardstock across the back you can't see, for stability.  I also cut away the hook at the top.  

Using a piercing tool, I pierced the rectangle frame to one side for interest and glued the snowflake over that side.

I stamped the sentiment from the Thrill of Hope set with Versamark onto the black cardstock and silver heat embossed it.  I glued the card front to a heavy white card base then pop dotted the sentiment over the snowflake.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
